OT: UCF is absolute garbage. They’d be a .500 team in the MWC.

The AAC is not nearly as good as the MWC with TCU and Utah.  They don't have a program at the top as good as those teams, or remotely close actually.

AAC has two teams that were in NY6 bowls and may now possibly have a third in either Memphis or Cincinnati.  So the AAC is not only performing at the level/exceeding old Big East but the MWC with TCU, Utah, and BYU.  And, for the record, SMU beat TCU this year and is currently ranked #20 and 4-5 TCU is no where to be found.

Most people, including yours truly, did not realize how good the AAC would become.  The Memphis/SMU game with its 60,000 attendance and 2.9M TV audience amazes me and is something that TCU, BYU, and Utah never achieved while in MWC.

 And UCF doesnt have the balls to sign a 2-1 with Florida. UCF is pathetic. They are four hours or less from three power schools.

The politics are more complicated than you’re acknowledging.  Plus it’s UF that won’t do the 2-1.  They want two in Gainesville and one neutral site game.  No school that’s selling out season tickets will agree to those terms, it doesn’t make sense.

I completely forgot that the third game was supposed to be at a neutral site.  My bad.  Thanks for the reminder. I believe UCF is not only selling out its stadium but is considering plans to expand by 10,000 in the near future.  Is that correct?

Many Tulsa fans considered UCF their main rival in the old CUSA.  UCF won two conference championships.  Tulsa won two conference championships.  UCF and Tulsa were the only two schools to win two conference championships.  Tulsa won both of its Liberty Bowl games and UCF went 1-1 there.  I attended that first UCF/Tulsa Conference Championship game in Orlando some years ago.  The attendance was 51,000 and the stadium rocked.

Not even close.  There is not a single AAC program that is even in the same sentence as those two programs were.  What TCU is doing now has nothing to do with that.  Hell, you don't even have a program comparable to Boise and Boise is down from where they were.

Tulsa and UCF have a history but you guys need to pick your shit up across the board.  With UConn gone you guys are the conference anchor.  Good game the other day, whatever voodoo you have going on at home works.  

Tulsa solved last year's problem of not having a QB or WRs.  But this year, Tulsa opened with an offensive line with one senior, three redshirt sophmores, and one redshirt freshman.  Tulsa has been one of the most penalized teams in the nation primarily because of the young and inexperienced offensive line, false starts, holding, ineligible receiver down field, chop blocking, and the center hiking the ball over the QB's head.  This young offensive line is slowly getting better.  The other and most major problem is the field goal kicker.  Tulsa has verballed a good FG kicker for 2020.  So, hopefully, Tulsa can better compete next year.  So a maturing offensive line and the current FG kicker DID make a field goal in the UCF game....and that was the Voo Doo UCF encountered.  Tulsa is 5-0 against UCF in Tulsa and 7-1 in the last 8 games against UCF.  The all time record is 8 wins for Tulsa and 3 wins for UCF.

Also, you are an idiot.  BYU had 60k+ at nearly every home game for half a decade.

We did, actually.  Game Day (one of TWO CGDs that year - on campus - a prime time game, and a record shattering SRO crowd.  And then we kicked ass on our way to a #3 ranking.  Have any AAC schools make it to #3?  how about twice?  I'll hang up and listen.

 

 

 

Fish in a barrel.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Although they historically have had good attendance, BYU has been struggling of late but still draws large crowds.  I hope that someday BYU is in AAC.

So what was the number of fans for the record setting SRO crowd? What was the TV viewership?

Florida U holds all the cards.  Florida U, Florida State, and Miami are P5.  To be part of the conversation, UCF needs to schedule all three schools.  Swallow your pride and do a 2-1 with the Gators.  UCF doesn' have to beat all 3 schools for a series of years.  Just play them and get some Ws and be part of the conversation.

Florida is currently ranked #10 in the nation.  Only LSU, Alabama, and Georgia are ranked above Florida in the SEC.  Play Florida and beat them.....and, in essence, UCF would have the status of #4 in SEC ahead of 10 other SEC teams and #10 in the nation.  But, first, UCF has got to get the Gators on their schedule.

Ditto for Boise State 2-1 deal with #7 Oregon.  Let BSU beat Oregon, the PAC's #1 team, and that makes the Broncos top dog of the PAC 12.

Let's face reality here.  These nonconference P5 games, whether 1-1 or 2-1, are better and much more meaningful and generate much more fan interest and money than the end of season bowl games where we P5 guys essentially play our fellow P5 colleagues.....or the bottom of the toilet #9 conference P5 team.

 

Uh, Boise has already beaten Oregon when they were the Pac 12 champ and have another upcoming series with them. Don't bring Boise into this... UCF is the big giant vagina here.

You're fecking high. TCU, Boise, and Utah all had teams ranked in the top 3 and all three were getting BCS bowls before this "Access Bowl" handout. Boise is still the only school to receive and at-large bid to a big money bowl.

Exactly.  As it stands now, the AAC wouldn't even sniff a NY6 under the old system.. Boise, Utah and TCU busted through... And set the bar and gave everyone else a road map..

Looks like a few AAC fans think football started in just the last few years..

The Pac12 makes 7 times what the AAC makes?   Not sure how you got there.  They are closer to 10 times the current AAC money in 2019, but that gap will fall to just 3X in 2020.  For the record, the Pac12 gets about 20 million a team from media deals with FOX and ESPN. They only make an extra million or two each from the Pac12 network.  That’s nowhere near 49 million each.  The Big10 doesnt  even make that much from media.  In the old BCS system, the other AQ conference teams were making 15 million each or so from media while the Big East teams only made about 4 million each.  So, a gap of 3-4X between power conferences is not unprecedented.  

That said, the difference in media pay is probably the easiest hurdle for the AAC to clear to be considered a power conference.  Major bowl access, average attendance, and autonomous powers are all much tougher hills to climb in its effort to be considered a power conference.  It’s nowhere near where it needs to be in those categories.  

each PAC-12 school made $31.3 million last year (he didn't single out only TV revenue) and the PAC-12's rights are up for bid again in 2024
